It really depends. One specific shop near my home has good quality frozen meat pancakes and dumplings. Yeah I have made dumplings by hand some 20 years ago, but those frozen ones are simply better. Maybe I can do some exotic dumplings with a buckwheat flour and a lot of eggs, but that would not necessarily be better, just different.

On the other hand, pasta sauce prepared from scratch will always taste better than store-bought one, mainly because the stores here only sell ketchup and mayo, and pretty much all pasta sauce here is some variety of tomato concentrate with a bit of carrots.

They even include this helpful explanation right on their website.

It’s called ‘Palianytsia’ because russians have trouble pronouncing that word.

If you want to understand how 3D projection works, it’s better to solve a few trigonometric equations by hand on a piece of paper, then copy these equations to your Python code.

If you just want to quickly make your own 3D renderer, simply use OpenGL API and the corresponding projection matrix. It will run the same exact formulas inside the driver, just in a 4x4 matrix form, and you can simply experiment with modifying each element of your projection matrix to make your 3D scene rotate the way you want, without bothering to understand the math.

Simply copying some formula from the net will most probably fail.

Hey, do you maybe know the Polish alphabet song? I was searching for it on the internet forever, but I don’t speak Polish so I could not google the correct phrase. It started like this (reconstructed from oral lore using Google Translate):

Berlin miastem w Niemczech leże

burdel - miejsce dla młodzieży

guzik to jest częścią ubrania

gówno jest produktem srania

dynia to jest do jedzenia

dupa to jest do pierdzenia

…

And it supposedly continued all the way to letter Z.

Speed-wise, multiple processes and multiple threads should be identical, if you are using the same primitives (shared memory, system-wide semaphore).

Threads are easier to use and use less RAM, because all your memory is shared automatically, and system-wide semaphores have complicated API.

I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.

It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.

The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.

I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.

C++ with -Wall -Werror, and no pointer diddling.

Just tried it. Way too hardcore. I was thinking of games more like Tesla Force or Space Marshals.

I don’t want to replay Fallout 2, I want some twin-stick shooters with comfortable touch controls. As much as emulators on Android improved, they usually provide poor touchscreen experience.

I was peeling garlic with just my nails like a dirty pleb, until I read this post.

They did sell Android games like seven years ago.

Anything that runs on Android?

Now that’s a top quality post.

Definitely! Win-Tab (properly called Meta-Tab) is used to switch activities in KDE Plasma. With this simple key combination, I gain another 15 virtual desktops.

You run it inside DOSBox on your Linux installation, simple!
